PLEASE know that this is a show fro die-hard fans only! The rating I gave this below should probably be closer to a "D"!

As long as these shows are shorter in comparison to later tours, I'll seed them up two at a time. I work very long days, so I can seed them for about 24 hours at a time, splitting my 90 k up speed.Enjoy!

I was planning on sharing two shows which i found out are very incomplete:Paris '80berlin '80

I think I'll share those ONLY if someone doesn't share a fuller version.

Also, the Melbourne '80 show I was intending to share is still on the tracker.Silver CD->EAC

EAC reported no errors with the rip,and each show I will share has an EAC logfile included.

Each show is named as so:The Cure (Date-YYYY-MM-DD) (City)So a show then will be:"The Cure 1979-03-11 London"Dates are written in this manner for easier archiving.

I have referenced the excellent site www.cure-concerts.de for these concerts. Please check that site out, it is well organized, and there is a lot of interesting information about the Cure in concert over there.

I recently moved, and my concert cdr collection has simply outgrown me. So, I've decided to compress all my concerts to .Flac and archive them on DVDR to save space. I have well over 2,000 cdrs to compress. I hope to share the majority of those shows here. For you Cure fans, I have over 400 shows to go through, I hope to share those that I find to be free from .mp3 sources. (except for whichever ones a taper has asked me to hold for special items,wink)I'll be working on these shows in the order that I unpack them, and I have several shows to do. Depeche Mode, Kiss, The Cure, and many others, I assure you.I'll try to weed out lossy shows, but a few may slip by me. Any and all help is appreciated in identifying these shows.If anyone would like my cdr copies of these shows, please contact me:seanw@culthero.de

Line-up:Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, Laurence Tolhurst

After the Australian tour, Mathieu left the band, leaving the Cure as a Trio, the way they had toured the previous year. According to cure-concerts.de, this is the 6th show of the Primary Tour.The setlist has changed some since 1980 began, no doubt trying out some compositions that will later be released on "Faith"- the holy hour,primary ,and all cats are grey. You'll notice some differences in these 3 songs that are different to the versions we are used to hearing.Six shows followed this one, then the band took four months to write and record their "Faith" LP,and embark upon what is dubbed "The Picture Tour", but that is a story for later...

This recording is probably best in the hands of the collectors that must have everything. The sound quality is among the worst in live recordings. The nice part is that you don't have to waste time and money trading for it like I did!
